AN HUNDRED THOUSAND Ole.

Starvation Menacing Many People In
New York City, Unable to get Work.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-The World has
ascertained that there are at least one
hundred thousand persons idle / this
city at present, and that Notwithstanding
the seeming general prosperity, starva-
ton MANAGES many persons who want
work, but not get it. The employ
ment agencies are full of persons looking
Tor work, for whom nothing can be got.
These are slack times for most of the
trades, all men who work on buildings
being laid of. OF the above number the
superintendent of the Working Women's
Protective union. says 20, 600 are women.
The police stations every night are filed
with persons unable to pay for lodging
houses, and charity organizations are be-
sieged by hungry men and women. The
prospects for the winter months seem to
indicate that this army of unemployed
will be increased before winter has
passed.

a Noted PRISONER ne.d-

KANKAKEE, Ill, Dec 27.-During the
year 1876 the criminal sensation of Kan
kakee county was the murder of Herman
Look by his wife Welhelmina Look and
her paramount, Peter Werniemont, their
hired man. The wife and Peter were
convicted of murder and sent to Joliet
prison for life. The case was recalled to
mind Monday by the death OF Peter Wer-
niemont in the prison hospital, of CON
sumption. Mrs, Look is still in prison
and is the first and only woman who
ever received a life sentence in Illinois.
She is quite wealthy, being the of
one of the finest farms near the city of
Kankakee. Strong efforts have been
made to procure a pardon for her, but so
far without avail, as the murder was q
most atrocious crime.

ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
The Periious Leap of Jack Krause From

The Perilous Leap of Jack Kralse From
a Third Story Cell.
BROOKLYN, Dec. 27.-Jack Krause,
who was detained at Raymond street
Jail as a witness in the case of Greenwall,
the murderer of Lyman Weeks, and who
was himself suspected of completely
in the murder, escaped during the night,
and has not yet been r%ecaptured. He
managed to bend the window bars of his
cell SO that he could squeeze his body
through. He tied three towels together
as a rope and let himself down SO far as
they reached, and her dropped from
that point to the ground, having first
thrown his mattress out to fall upon. In
this way he reached the ground from the
third story of the jail without injury.
The cell was not so strong nor SO well
guarded as those of the regular prisoners.
as there was no suspicion that Krause
would try to escape. Greenwali is sent
enced to be hanged. soon, and witnesses
against him would doubtless be released
after the court of appeals acts on the mo-
ton to reopen the case, but it is sup
posed that Krause thought he would
himself be indicted as an accessory to
murder, and therefore determined to es-
cape. The Jail warden says it wal a
very diIicuis feat. de is greatly cha
grined over the affair.

preparations Of Turkey, which call for

test the fact that the Ottoman govern
ment is fully aware of the gravity of the

As Turkey cannot by any possibility
raise the sun demanded, and doubtless
would not apply it the pay ment of her

most likely, decide thatit is easier to fight
than to pay, If she has not already reached
that conclusion.
